Paris 2015 - Day 3 - Japan Expo

On our third day, we went to the Japan Expo (JE). When you enter the area to buy tickets, you have to go through a very long labyrinth (in case the queue gets very long). We needed 10 minutes (!) to walk through that labyrinth D: Then we had to wait 40min in the queue to get our tickets. Even if we had to wait long for our tickets, the JE itself wasn't too full. I think thursdays is a good day to visit the JE.

I also think this year, the JE was better than 2012+2013, because there were more Japan-related stalls. The last times I visited JE, half of the space was actually a Comic Convention, but now the space is also used for the Japan Expo, so there were a lot more stalls where you can buy stuff, but also where you can see japanese artists!

This year, they also had many japanese idols as guests, and we saw a very cute girl "Hiiragi Rio". We actually saw her one day before at the Eiffel Tower. She was singing and dancing live, and I really liked her songs!
